‘Taxsutra Dialogues’ : In conversation with Renowned QC Philip Baker on "Future of International Tax & Multilateralism in Uncertain Times

Episode Duration:
85 minutes

Episode Background:
As it is abundantly clear now that the world is in completely unchartered territory and has never witnessed a moment as uncertain as the one unfolding before our eyes, the world of international tax also ought to brace itself for the inevitable disruption. As tax collections across the globe crash, as Governments in both developed and developing economies ponder on how best to revive their respective economies, international tax policy making too will require a fine balancing act.

While the OECD has publicly reaffirmed its commitment to find a solution to the vexed digital tax issue, global superpower USA, which is currently the worst affected nation by COVID-19, has already made its displeasure clear. The economic, fiscal & above all the geo-political fallout of coronavirus is certain to test the limits of multilateralism in international tax as well.
